(VOVworld) - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has called for more structural reform to improve corporate competitiveness and productivity.

Speaking at a meeting on State owned enterprises restructuring in Hanoi on Saturday, the Prime Minister asked ministries and economic groups to accelerate equitization and state capital divesture while linking structural reform with securities listing. He said there should be a clear time table for listing in each company’s equitization plan. 348 out of 432 companies have set up a steering committee on restructuring while 247 are identifying their asset value.
